UCONN did the right thing in expelling a bad apple. They should be commended for their decision.

Expelled from UConn as a 4 star? Makes you wonder what he did in addition to just violating a restraining order. An infraction of that magnitude usually warrants going to bed early without dinner for one night I would have thought.

Usually Calhoun railroads the poor players and makes excuses for the good ones. That's not true. He started for UConn as a frosh and when he transferred to UW, he was first team All Pac 10.

UCONN shouldn't have taken him in the first place. The kid is knucklehead. Never had grades, never got it together despite numerous chances given. I hope Nate eventually turns his life around exclusionary of basketball. A Toledo kid that needed more mentorship early on.

If he couldn't last at You Con, that is not a good sign.

He's going to appeal the decision. Apparently some "NEW FACTS" will be given to the panel to review his dismissal.
It's called the "Baby--you know I love you---and UConn needs me to win--so change your story--PLEASE....." facts or the Ike Turner Defense. "Baby--why did you make me dig my nails in your thigh--I love you..."
So Huskies await:
1. Ater Majok--interesting transcipt issue--expected to arrive in December 2. Stanley Robinson--Online Classes being taken in Storrs as we speak for him to "re-gain" eligiblity. 3. Nate "Ike Turner" Miles appeal process.
Where is Jim Calhoun to comment? He was available all of the Summer when he supposedly would not be available to comment--but now he's in witness protection program either avoiding questions about this mess or looking for a replacement for Nate Miles.

With a rap sheet like this...there is no denying it...Calhoun recruits thugs.
I just forwarded this list to some Ucon fans I know and one of them responded with no words...only a picture attachment of Michael Graham. I must be missing something...does he have a felony that I'm not aware of?

I just forwarded this list to some Ucon fans I know and one of them responded with no words...only a picture attachment of Michael Graham. I must be missing something...does he have a felony that I'm not aware of? It's just nice to know they still have their laptops to respond to you. I'm not saying Uconn is only school to have "questionable" players--but I also find it interesting how Bubble Boy is going after that "last hurrah" and by any means necessary. He's not even trying to hide the fact he's placing winning above all--and when you reach that point--see Joe Paterno doing his Pete Bell (BlueChips) imitation--it speaks to your character and exposes it for all to see. Is winning so important you ignore the very reason you are there-which is to help young men grow into men? How does not making people responsible for their actions help? You don't run off guys who are not talented to get guys who are--but are of questionable character. Every team has a bad apple but it's a problem when you get a lot of them and can bring down the rest of team. I just can't stand phony people and it's why I despise Calhoun. He's front and center when it helps him or puts him in a positive light--and minute the **** hits the fan--he's in his bunker and can't be found. Show some character and accountability.

His youth coach and guardian, as quoted in the Hartford Courant:
"I know people are going to look at all the baggage and say 'These guys took a chance on him,' but there were 50 other schools that wanted to do the same thing," Patterson said. "We wanted him to be with Jim Calhoun and the Connecticut program. He needed a role model like that."
Anyone else find this statement ironic?

You must have missed the extensive comments by Jim Calhoun in all the CT papers on Wed. You can find them online. Wednesday night. An e-mail released by UConn stated: "Due to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), the University of Connecticut and the Division of Athletics are prohibited from any comment this evening regarding the status of Nate Miles."

are there any Georgetown players that were arrested while at Georgetown? David Windate got on an on campus fight with a player on the football team. No charges were filed. Fred Brown got in a fight while in practice with David Dunn and sucker punched him. Again, no disciplinary action was taken. Other than that... there was some stuff involving Kenny Bruner, Charles Smith and VP...but those incidents all occurred after g'town. That's all i know of. It's pretty amazing how clean our track record is...knocking on wood.

What a rap sheet!! It's incredible how little national coverage this sour aspect of Calhoun's tenure at UCon has received. It's like every year a student athlete (or two) is expected to have trouble with the law or school.

Care to link to any of those articles? Because all I'm seeing in the Hartford Courant are "no comments" from Calhoun. tinyurl.com/52x3pmtinyurl.com/45jvxu
